The Cadets

There are at least four bands with the name The Cadets. 1) Responsible for the songs "Pax Cadetia", "Cowford-Promised Prince", etc: The first thing you should know about the Cadets is that frontman and lyricist Chuck Smyth sings like a throttled cat. Cadets songs, all penned by Smyth with the help of drummer Cash Carter and a rotating cast of their friends and cohorts, draw comparison to the more cheerful, lyrical Polvo compositions, or to the frenzied later work of Man.
